Yurgon Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm quite surprised there doesn't seem to be a thread about this wonderful mission delivered with BS2 called "Air Show". I think it deserves some special attention as it focuses on handling and aerobatics and makes us do these things in a comparable manner. Here's my very first go at it: http://www.yurgon.de/uploads/dcs_bs/yurgon_air_show_01.trk (ca. 10MB, MD5: 75d0790e3c65413b4b534e94dc574be9, SHA1: 2a32d8899f32b30c469e77048aa827b1f6b5f85a; I couldn't upload the file to the forum because of size restriction). Some observations: I expected to screw up in a royal manor I studied the briefing several times and took a few notes prior to takeoff Actually it went a lot better than I had anticipated (even though I completely forgot to retract the landing gear after takeoff) (and almost screwed up the landing near the end of the solo performance because of that) There is vast space for improvement I hardly had any time to look at my notes I passed 6 out of 7 tests The limits enforced for a successful mission appear to be quite a bit less restrictive than those given in the mission briefing Even before rendezvousing with the other Ka-50s, I'd already learned a few new things about the Abris My spiral descent was terrible The landing sucked The landing and taxiing in Beslan sucked as well It was a tremendous amount of fun! Ever since I first glanced at that mission, I thought "I'm not ready yet". Well, I wasn't. Still ain't. But it's a great way to get better. Besides, I'm curious to see how different pilots use difference approaches to trim, FD and AP modes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_M Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I looked at that. There's no way I'm near ready. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jona33 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I flew this one a while back. I didn't do a great job on the first pass. (The cat jumped on the keyboard the bugger), and later on, I quote, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING. YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF." That was after the spiral descent. It was great fun though. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxe Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just tried it and completely missed the rendevouz with the other choppers. Or to be more precise: I was at the right spot at the right time, but I wasn't able to see the other two. Guess they got lost, because, you know, I was there and they didn't... *cough* :music_whistling: So after that royal screw up I stopped the mission. Will try again tomorrow though. Looks like fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kunter7 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Fun mission! Thanks for pointing it out... not sure how I missed it, but heck, I'm still learning about this great sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
